It was i •accurate to state, as hail been .done in the Report, flirt the - whole direction and con. front of the Norwich Insurance Offire resi{!ed in Mr. Thomas Biguold, sets. His management was confined merely to the Landon district, a very small part of the whole extent in which horsiness was traus,,cted with flint Office. As to the de mands of Mr..Waldegtave, they were i rime. //lately p,cid upon a tepresentatinu being made to the Directors, or if the liquidatirm of them was stiN del/lee/I, it arose from a wish on the ! yin of the Office to have the valor of hii wearing apparel ascertained. The other case, besides that of Mr. Wrath-grave, which came before the Cotimsittee to which he belonged, was that of Newman. The &righter of the Suf ferer presented herself to them with a letter.

Upon these grontls he should move an adjournment to some ot her thy. Here some person asked, when the last balance took place ? The answer was, that it was taken at last General Report. Mr. BROOKE spoke in favour of fire amendment of Mr. Kemble. lie wished at the same time that every thing connected with the principles and practice of the Norwich Insurance-Office should be inquired into.. •, Mr. HANsorr seconded the amendment. The present Report was, in his opinion, premature. When that of the other Committee came before them, it,would be accompanied with documents sufficient jo satisfy the public mind. The Advertisement from the London Commit • tee was then read, stating the amount of fundt possessed by the Norwich Office for Fire and Life Insurances, end-•tiecldring that the annual pre miums would far exceed any probable demands according to average losses within each year. Mr. MIDDLBTON, one of the London Committee, intid, he would not pledge himself to the statements contained in the Advertisement. The CHAIRMAN 9.lid, t h at the reatton why the Committee to which he belonged did not commu nicate with the London Committee was, because their objects were different, the London Corm,. mittee confioingt itttelf merely to the investigat:on of claimg. while the other wished to embrace the whole sot+ ct. Mr. TWIG° contended that the Lonr!on Com mittee was not fairly constituted. There were four or five of its Members who could not be sup— posed d:sinterested. Mr. Kemble's amendment, that the Meeting do adjourn until thii day month, was negatived. The Report was agreed to, and ordered to be printed. . It was resolved, that the former Committee should enntin,,e their functions, such Members only being excluded who had claims upon the Norwich Fire-office. A Subscriber uished to know, whether any of the Committee by whom the Report was prepared bad shares in any other Insurance Office ? Mr. Alderman Tuoar, the Chairman, did not consider the question material. H holding shares it► another Insurance Office was an objection, hs most be excluded front the Committee. To this question,•so important to give the Com mittee a character of impartiality, only one of its Members answered in the negative. It was then agreed, that the former subscrip tion should be continued, and thanks being voted to the Chairman the Meeting broke up. It is a consolation to. the industrious mechanic, and persons of moderate income, who are afflicted,. to know they may have the best advice, gratii, if they - attend at certain hours, namely, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one o'clock, at the Medical Board, Greet Charlotte street, 131ackfriars-road.

Yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, a Meet ing %vas held, at the Geoige and Vulture, Corn hill, for the purpose of tecei.•ing the Report of the Committee appointed at the last iteeting. to take into consideration the affairs of the Norwich Union Fire-Office. Mr. Alderman THORP being called to the Chair, ,the Report was read. It stated, that in consequence of the Resolutions entered int, at the . last Meeting, the Acting Committee, in compli ance with these Resolutions, had written to the Duke of Argyle, and various other Noblemen and Gentlemen, for the purpose of being informed, whether they had any contront over, or were in possession any funds belonging to, the Nor wic!l Union Instil:ince-Office, or whether they considered themselves responsible for any claims upon that Office. A great number of letterslrom different NOble men and Gentlemen were then dead. That from the Duke of Argyle referred to'the Directors of the Society for the information reqiiired. It staled 'hat there were channels throutgii which be should 'eel himself called upon to communicate what he knew upon the subject ; but that he did not'con sider it necessary to do so, in consequence of the application from the Committee. Time Directors upon this were requested to give answers to the questions put to the Duke ot Argyle, - but they refused to answer them, saying that they could not recognize any authority in the Committee for entering upon such an investigation. The Duke of Somerset, in his answer, referred also to the Board of Directors for information.— The Earls ot Surrey and Roseherry said that they were in possession of no funds connected with the establishment ; that they -did not consider themselves responsible for any demands upon it, and that they wire totally unacquainted with its affairs. Lord Viscount Barnard stated, in his answer to ,the Committee, that his connexion with the Norwich Union Office was merely nominal, that be was neither io possession of nor had any con- trout over - its fonds, nor did he consider bitriself in s orry degree responsible. The answers of Lord Viscount Althorpe, Sir George Armytage, and William Colville, Esq. were to the same effect.— Such were the communications from the Trustees. A letter was then read from Mark Saunders, Esq. of Birmingham, stating that in that district for' which he was one of the Tr ustees, the Nor.. wich Insurance CoMpanY bad funds to the amount of 25,0001. liable to any claims upon theta, and that their affairs in t ha t quartet went on prosperously, all demands being speedily and fairly adjusted. The next document produced was a communi cation from the Directors at Norwich to the Committee appointed by the first Meeting at the George and Vulture. They acknowledged the re ceipt of the Resolutions entered into by that Meeting, but stated, that in consequence of the hostile feelings evinced by them, they must de cline any further correspondence, stating, at the same time, their desite to have all claims speedily adj,rsted.. In - his letter the Directors referred to tile Meeting held at the York Hotel, ;and enclosed copy as well of the Resolutions entered into there as of those previously adopted by them selves. The 'Report went on to state, that the acting Committee, appointed at the George and Vul ture, had written to the local Committees, acting under the Norwich Insurance Office, and that they received answers only from very few of them, which stated, that all claims upon the Office were speedily ,adjusted, but that they were in posses sion of no hinds. A variety of letters were then read from Tho• alas Dear, John Thacke►y, James Kinn►aird, Mr. Plimi►tun, of F;eet•market, Brian Macderniot, William Newman, WllliAn Emerson, ,James Na pleston, William Beckford, and others, complain ing that their claims were not speedily nor fairly adjusted.
